Hello, Cardinal Ridge Families! My name is Jenna Krause and I am thrilled to be part of the Red Wings staff!  I started teaching in Loudoun County in 2005 at Belmont Station Elementary School where I taught 4th grade for six years.  In 2011, I became the technology resource teacher at Pinebrook Elementary.  My passion lies with teaching so I decided to return to the classroom, and I have been with Cardinal Ridge since its opening.  I taught 3rd grade for 6 years at Cardinal Ridge and am excited to join the 4th grade team this year!  In 2003, I graduated from Penn State University (We Are…Penn State!) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.  I also earned a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University. 

I am originally from the Philadelphia area and I love cheering for my hometown sports teams, especially the Eagles! I love to read, travel, and spend time with my family.  I live in South Riding with my husband and we have a seven year old daughter named Penny and a three year old son named Tanner who both keep us very busy.  

I look forward to working with the fourth graders at Cardinal Ridge! We will have a wonderful year together full of great learning experiences!
